Pirates city connect uniforms

[Brock Beauchamp]

I like the colors, I like the subtle pattern, but PGH? Why? It sounds like a banned supplement and also looks pretty dumb.

I wish the CC alternates were better almost across the board.

[Cool Hand Lucroy]

Yeah, thumbs down on the lettering for sure. 

I am I the minority, but I LOVE the Brewers CC unis. That powder blue is awesome. Even the chintzy grill patch is fun. To each their own, I guess.

I love the grill logo. Don’t care for the hat. The uniform overall is just fine. The only CC jersey I think is legitimately good is the Nationals. Most I think are pretty bad.

The first few were creative but the 2023 ones have mostly turned into retro jerseys. Easier to "draw inspiration from" (copy) the past than come up with something new and interesting. 

I think the San Diego and Boston ones are awesome, but the unique ones have drawn complaints which is probably why they are opting for the safe designs, sadly.

Is PGH a thing in Pittsburgh? I've never heard of that, but maybe it's a local thing? Barry Bonds tested positive for PGH I think. ;)

PGH is the airport code for Pittsburgh. 

 

Just like CLT is Charlotte.

Holy cow those might be the worst jerseys I've ever seen.  Usually anything other than the regular jerseys is really stupid but this is truly awful.

OMG I almost did a spit take on that jersey.

Not sure when airport codes became nicknames for cities but unless it's something kind of cool like PDX it's just stupid. Put something else across the front of these jerseys and they aren't bad.

I wish teams would just settle on their best home and away uniform and stick with it for every game. Not a fan of the softball team look. I especially dislike the mismatched tops and pants that seems so popular today.

Back in my day, teams wore home whites and road grays. And we liked it that way!

It makes sense when it matches the city name in a pleasing way. MKE is pretty good. I also like MSP for Minneapolis St Paul. I agree that PDX is great.

PGH is blech. CLT is ****** hilarious, honestly.

Hopefully Fresno doesn't get a professional team any time soon...

Back in my day teams wore pinstripes at home and powder blue on the road.

Yeah it was way better when everyone had a home and away jersey and that's it.  I like to easily be able to identify every team by jersey and colors.  The NBA has become the absolute worst with this.  Like what team colors are the Bucks?  I have no idea most nights.  Could be blue, could be green, purple, red, cream, black, white.  There's no identity.  I know the Packers are green and gold and basically always wear the same iconic jerseys.

Now if a team wants to do a turn back the clock night old time jersey here and there that's fine but it really shouldn't be more than once a year.

I’m fine with alternate uniforms but they need to be good. Mets orange, not good. Twin Cities alternate, very good (best uniform the Twins have right now, frankly).

Alternates become less exciting when the home whites are good/great, which the Brewers home pinstripes are IMO.

Pinstripes on a white uni are perfectly acceptable for me. And I can bend the rules to allow for powder blue on the road. I'll even allow a front yellow panel hat for away games.  🙂

The San Diego CC jerseys are by far the worst jerseys of all time, in any professional sport.  First time I saw them I thought they were just kidding, and would remove them once the game started.  They are a complete embarrassment.  Just absolutely hideous.

If they would have had the grill logo as the hat it would have been perfect

Some of the back to the future ones are just as bad. I don’t get too upset about it because those jerseys are not made for me, a white guy in my 40’s.

And alternates on Sunday, I get that Nike has figured out more jerseys equal more money but I hate where uniforms are going, the nba is the worst with 5-6 per team and new city connects every year.

Agreed. The grill should be the hat logo.
